Leave your big words at home
Sometimes people need to stop looking at bands loosely connected to shifts in culture and music as evil — using big words like “ephemera” to prove they know more than most of us — and realize that some people legitimately like those bands.
Sure, New York hipsters on their fixies that “like” bands just so they can brag over cans of PBR are annoying, but just like every other annoying trend, they’ll go away. And those of us that kinda like that new Dirty Projectors album will still be around.
So maybe stop calling out musicians that studied music composition at Yale and are well-liked by David Byrne and tell us how hipster culture is actually ruining our generation. It’s just a band, after all. A band with a lot of weird music and one pretty dang good album.
End rant.
